When I upgraded two of my ubuntu PCs that had been folder sharing with no problem, the ability to share folders was lost. My nautilus bookmarks across the network now return: "Failed to mount Windows share: invalid argument" When i tried to set a new folder to be shared, I was prompted to go through the same installation of samba, I believe, that Ruben wrote about.
